The Train West by JK Poffenberger (PG)
Fandom: THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (OW LB AU)
Pairing: N/A
Author on LJ: Not that I know of
Author Website: None (fics can be found at Blackraptor)
Why this must be read:
As you've probably figured by now, in the Magnificent Seven fandom we're all about our sandboxes, or the different AUs available. The perhaps second biggest AU behind the ATF AU is the combined Little Britches (LB) AUs; this is another sandbox that exists in both the Old West and ATF AUs. In this case, we have the accepted beginning of the OW Lil' Britches Universe, where JD and Vin are cousins sent west on the Orphan Train and find themselves in Four Corners.
Vin raised up on his elbow. "Mister Josiah, are there indians 'round here?" Vin looked Josiah square in the eye as he asked the question.
Josiah looked into the boy's honest blue eyes. This child has been through some rough times. He's a fighter, though. "Yes, Vin, there's an Indian reservation west of here. Would you like to ride up there with me someday?"
JD's excited voice kept Vin from having to answer. "Real injuns. Do they scalp people?"
"No, son, they don't scalp people, they're my friends."
"Oh."
